While driving the Jeep on the interstate at 65 mph lost all power was able to get it to the side of the road and after a minute it restarted it has done it numerous times sometimes sitting at a traffic light sometimes driving 25 mph through town there is no warning no dash signs of anything wrong vehicle just shut off lose all power terrifying took it to a Jeep dealer couldn't duplicate the problem also the radio plays and the dash display does not light up my power windows will go up and down by themselves and end up halfway. I only been able to drive the car short distances because of the fear of death lose breaking and steering. Have seen other complaints with the same issues on the internet why is this vehicle allowed to be on the road
I would be driving down the road and my Jeep will shut off all by itself and then turn back on all while driving down the expressway doing 75mph my steering wheel and lights and breaks would all lock up then the Jeep would just pop back on and then the RPM's would be really high so I would have to hit the breaks to slow way down so my Jeep wouldn't blow up on me. I've taken it to like 5 mechanics and they can not figure what's wrong with it. Then also I can get in my Jeep and start it and my radio and backup camera won't work and some of my gages wouldn't register when I start it ups don't start going down the road so I will have to pull over shut my Jeep off and pull the key out and open the door to make sure everything is off then put the key can in and restart it and sometimes it will work and sometimes I will have to do it a few times to get it to work.
Jeep is having electrical issues. It will randomly go into limp mode at start, but turning it off and restarting it fixes that issue. It's done this three times in the 2 years we have had it. I am now having an electrical issue where something is causing a draw on the battery while the vehicle is turned off. I have had to replace the alternator, starter, and now the battery.it is causing the battery to swell, and the Jeep is having to be jumped to start multiple times a week. The battery was put on a deep charge, and it had to be jumped the next day. Also the air conditioning back lighting goes off and on when you turn the knobs or adjust the fan speed while both driving and stationary. This has been going on for roughly a month.

The Jeep has electrical stuff happening sporadically and does not start but with power but after 3 to 6 attempts starts right up. I turn key all power and bells go off and it makes a humming noise and 1 click noise dash says ' transmission over temp' the Jeep is cold so not over temperature. I've seen a lot of post about recall and also about ignition switch or module. I've only owned for 2 years and dealer said car had no recalls when I purchased. This happens stationary and also after driving about 20 minutes to destination and when I went to leave it took several times before starting. This has been going on for last 3 days but few messages randomly popped in information center few times before this had at dealer on computer no codes said it was okay
The heat of the summer months tend to make the car engine sputter as you head down the road. This happpened again yesterday only this time as we prepared to make our turn the vehicle totally shut off, allowing me to loose control of the steering we were fortunate no one was behind us or pulling out where we were turning. We would have either been rear ended or would have run into any car waiting to turn.
I have a 2007 Grand Cherokee. While taking my kids to school, I was slowing down when the Jeep just died. I coasted to the side of the road and was able to start the car again. Anytime since then, mainly when slowing down to stop, it would do the same thing. Tried replacing ECM, sensors, etc. Nothing has worked yet. Jeep dealer told us it could be the wiring harness...which we cant find anywhere.
I have 2 issues. 1st is Jeep intermittently doesn't start. Which sometimes causes it to shut off while driving luckily I have been on side streets. It cranks but doesn't fire. Was told it could be a bad fuel pump relay. Next issue is it intermittently puts in self in all gears sometimes when I start it and sometimes when driving. I have to turn Jeep off and restart it. Worst has been when I'm on highway and it does this I go from 75mph to 20mph at a dangerous rate. I then have to pull over and turn off and restart again. It has been doing this on and off for about a year now. And progressively getting more often.
Engine stalls no matter what speed I'm going. Happens more often when coming to a stop. It's as if I just turn the key off. When it stalls, I stop and put it in park, turn the key off and start it right back up and take off. It's becoming a dangerous safety concern.
On September 9 I was driving back from my grand daughter school and as I was pulling on my street, the Jeep shut off without warning. I had no check engine light on or any type of warnings. I had to coast into my driveway. It doesn't start at all. It had an oil change and fluids in Jeep. It did it without warning
Engine dies while driving. This happens randomly whether I'm traveling 10 mph or 70 mph. Very dangerous! no warning signs or lights before shut down occurs.
Car will stay at 40 mph as if locked into that speed. I press down on the gas pedal but the car will not go any faster. I have to pull over and turn the car off, when restarted it works fine for a while. Then randomly it will happen again. This has occurred roughly once a month for the past year. On line there are thousands of Jeep owners reporting the same issue. I called Jeep but they said car was out of warranty so tough luck. I have owned 23 cars and have never had a car do this to me. Other people have driven this car with the same issues. This has happened both on the highway and on rural streets.
The engine died going 70mph on the hwy with out any notice. I was barely able to get to the side of road as steering locked up, once on side of road, I put it into 'park' and 'restarted the engine'. it worked just fine from then on, till about 3 months later, it happened again. This time I was approaching a stop light and turning right, I barely was able to get thru the light and to the side of the road, as the steering had again locked up. This is very scary! everything in the car turns 'off', I dont even think the flashers worked during these times. Once at a complete stop, and after putting into 'park', everything starts back up normally, and drives fine. There is not any other signs of anything wrong, no dash light warnings or anything.

Shortly after my husband got home we heard someone honking their horn outside of our apartment, so we looked and our vehicle was on fire. It was parked and not running when it happened.
My 2007 Jeep G.Cherokee can be on the highway traveling 55 mph and then decided to die. It will shut off and cannot increase speed. I have a one year old in the back seat and this has happened to many times while having my son the back seat and trying to get over to the break down lane before it completely dies. Also doesn't start some days some will. Defiantly have electrical proven like in the recall. Their is a fuel relay recall there is a many recalls for the same things happening to my Jeep and it's becoming a hazard and scary for me traveling with my son.

After driving approximately 30 miles on the interstate I stopped and went into a store. When I came back out in 5-10 minutes and attempted to started it, the engine felt as though it were "jumping". had it towed to the dealer. They said it had dropped a valve seat. Chrysler determined that it happened because it had been overheated. However there were absolutely no overheat codes in the computer. The gauges have never read hot. It was not low on coolant. They stated that there were no leaks. It was never hot.
